Article Abstract
Cellular senescence contributes to inflammatory kidney disease via the secretion of inflammatory and profibrotic factors. Protease-activating receptor 2 (PAR2) is a key regulator of inflammation in kidney diseases. However, the relationship between PAR2 and cellular senescence in kidney disease has not yet been described. In this study, we found that PAR2-mediated metabolic changes in renal tubular epithelial cells induced cellular senescence and increased inflammatory responses. Using an aging and renal injury model, PAR2 expression was shown to be associated with cellular senescence. Under in vitro conditions in NRK52E cells, PAR2 activation induces tubular epithelial cell senescence and senescent cells showed defective fatty acid oxidation (FAO). Cpt1α inhibition showed similar senescent phenotype in the cells, implicating the important role of defective FAO in senescence. Finally, we subjected mice lacking PAR2 to aging and renal injury. PAR2-deficient kidneys are protected from adenine- and cisplatin-induced renal fibrosis and injury, respectively, by reducing senescence and inflammation. Moreover, kidneys lacking PAR2 exhibited reduced numbers of senescent cells and inflammation during aging. These findings offer fresh insights into the mechanisms underlying renal senescence and indicate that targeting PAR2 or FAO may be a promising therapeutic approach for managing kidney injury.

Background: Individuals born after intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) have a higher risk of developing metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adulthood. In a rat model, male IUGR offspring exhibit MetS features-including elevated systolic blood pressure, glucose intolerance, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and increased visceral adipose tissue (VAT)-by 6 months of age. Female offspring, however, do not.

The incidence of traumatic brain injury (TBI) has demonstrated a marked escalation recently. Nevertheless, there remains a critical paucity of effective drug interventions targeting persistent neuroinflammation-induced damage following TBI. STING/NF-κB axis-induced pyroptosis emerges as a pivotal mechanism driving persistent neuroinflammation, providing it as a potential target for multi-pathway precision therapeutic in TBI.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is a devastating condition characterized by the accumulation of myelin debris (MD), persistent neuroinflammation, and impaired neural regeneration. Although macrophages are pivotal for MD clearance, the impact of excessive MD phagocytosis on macrophage phenotype and function remains poorly understood. Building upon our prior evidence that exendin-4 (Ex-4), a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonist, mitigates microglia-driven neuroinflammation post-SCI, this study elucidates the therapeutic efficacy and underlying mechanisms of Ex-4 in alleviating macrophage senescence, restoring efferocytotic capacity, and facilitating neural repair.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) substantially increases cardiovascular risk, with endothelial dysfunction as its central pathological mechanism. This review summarises the molecular regulatory mechanisms underlying endothelial dysfunction in CKD and highlights recent advances in treatment strategies. The pathophysiology of endothelial injuries involves a complex network of multiple factors and mechanisms, including oxidative stress, inflammation, glycocalyx damage, ischaemia, hypoxia, cellular senescence and endothelial-mesenchymal transition (EndMT).

Age-related eye diseases (AREDs) are the leading cause of visual impairment in the elderly, affecting the structure of the anterior and posterior segments of the eye, significantly reducing the quality of life of patients, and even leading to irreversible blindness. Typical AREDs include age-related cataract (ARC), dry eye disease (DED), age-related macular degeneration (AMD), glaucoma, and diabetic retinopathy (DR), the global prevalence of which continues to rise, becoming a serious public health concern. SIRT1 is an NAD + dependent deacetylase, which plays an important physiological regulatory role in ocular tissues, mainly affecting gene expression and various cellular processes by regulating the acetylation status of substrate proteins.
